- Tuist own explanation of its advantages
- Tuist is developed in Swift (no additional dependencies needed for installation)
- Fast bug fixes since Tuist is open source and developed in a community driven way
- Developers can write configuration files in Swift ❤️
- Code for setting up multiple projects can be shared using Project-Description-Helpers
- Project configuration and build settings can be documented
- External dependencies can be integrated in an easy way. Carthage and SPM are supported too.
- The workspace and project file can be removed from git which leads to a high reduction of merge conflicts and a smoother development process.
- Supports the creation of release pipelines for GitHub Actions and Bitrise.
- Supports an advanced local or remote caching mechanism which is able to replace local targets with pre-compiled versions.
- Auto generates an Xcode project for the configuration itself. The configuration is automatically verified at its compile time.
- Enforcement of certain editor settings, e.g.
usesTabs,indentWidth,tabWidth,wrapsLines - When you have really a lot of targets you can be sure that only the targets needed are compiled in the project file. This is very useful when developing white-label apps.
- Tuist always generates a clean, state-of-the-art project and not one where old project settings accumulate in the dark.
- Stale or duplicated files are detected since they are blindly imported in the project and catched by the compiler
- You cannot add shared breakpoints anymore when ignoring the workspace file in git.
